When working with Chen Schwang, a field reporter who covers finance, transport policy, education reforms and sport across Africa. Also known as C. Schwang, his work blends data, on‑the‑ground quotes and quick‑turnaround storytelling. Chen Schwang brings a clear voice to topics that usually sit in separate silos, so readers can see how a rise in spot gold, a new digital licence rollout or a Premier League transfer saga all affect everyday life. His pieces often start with a headline figure – like gold hitting $4,011 per ounce – then unpack the why, who and what‑next, giving you both the headline and the context you need to act.
One recurring thread is the gold market, the global commodity space where spot prices reflect Fed policy, geopolitical risk and ETF flows. Articles such as “Gold Hits $4,011/oz on Oct 7, 2025” show how rate‑cut hopes push investors into safe‑haven assets, and why that ripple reaches South African savers. Another focus is the digital driving licence, South Africa’s electronic licence system aimed at cutting backlogs and modernising vehicle registration. Coverage of parliamentary pressure on Transport Minister Barbara Creecy explains the technology shift and the cost of aging equipment for everyday motorists. Sports fans get a dose of the Premier League, England’s top‑flight football league known for high‑value transfers and global viewership through match previews, transfer rumours and tactical breakdowns—from Brighton’s predicted 4‑1 win to Crystal Palace’s 97th‑minute heroics. Beyond these, Chen dives into education (like Kenya’s KCSE re‑sit registration), legal battles (Nigeria’s Supreme Court death‑sentence case) and African football politics (South Africa’s CHAN performance). Each story shows a cause‑and‑effect chain: policy changes influence market reactions, market moves shape consumer behaviour, and sports outcomes affect national morale.
What you’ll find below is a curated list of Chen Schwang’s most recent reporting. Whether you’re tracking gold price volatility, checking the status of South Africa’s digital licence rollout, or looking for a quick recap of the latest Premier League drama, the collection gives you a single place to catch up. Dive in to get the facts, the context and the practical takeaways that help you stay informed without sifting through unrelated headlines.
